Democratic Republic

Does our democracy hang in the balance of this election? Only time will tell, and my gut says that is highly likely. There are those that want to change the way that our leaders are selected. Ideally, it would be one vote per person with the least interference possible by those administering the process. I would love to see us move in that direction. If some of those currently in power have their way, it is unlikely. They would rather be the final arbiter in any election process. So, instead of voters getting at least a semblance of participation in government, it will be the ones with the most power telling us who will be running things and how our money will be spent. It seems we are living in interesting times.
